SHRIMPS
Did you ever see a shrimp ? Well—expect you have.
But did you ever see three car loads all at once ? Don't believe you ever did.
But if you	had	been	with	us	yesterday down at the	rail road,
you	might have seen	them	and	the	biggest	kind, too*
They are so thick in the Lake nov that you can't run a stick down without hitting about nine.
Very fine oysters for sale at 6 lA<f per dozen and 37 1/2 t per hundred.
